Each issue we share three ways to do more in a 10-minute break. Here are breaks 7-9.

1. Read 5-10 pages
   Get in more reading by doing so in short bursts. If you do it a few times a day, you won't forget where you're at, while reading more and often.


2. Grab a coffee
   Add steps to your activity tracker, chat (or vent!) with a colleague or classmate, and reap one of the many benefits of moderate caffeine consumption, from memory enhancement to reducing the risk of dementia.


3. Write a note of appreciation
   Grab a Post-it or small paper and write a short note of appreciation to someone you know. A friend, family member, neighbor or new acquaintance might be in need of motivation, inspiration, hope or thanks. You'll make them feel better and you'll be happier, too!
